#MadMonday Only Joan could deliver a mad scene so haunting and creepy, at the same time so warm and emotive. Her voice (cavernous) for the most coloratura singers is an event apart, combined with Zeffirelli's direction, the idealized Lucia, till current days Joan's performance is the manual to be followed.

#MADMONDAY

"I predict that if Maria Callas, now thirty four, goes on performing at the present rate, she will have left no professional singing voice by the time she is forty. Joan Sutherland... will, within five years, be acclaimed as famous an international star as Maria Callas is now, but she will no longer be a member of the Covent Garden Company." Noël Goodwin

By the time Noël said that, he did not know that Joan's doctor had ordered her into hospital because of further ear abscesses, a danger of mastoid and even some lung damage. Joan refused to go until she met her engagement to sing in six performances of Lucia di Lammermoor, so the specialist reserved a hospital bed for her.
